Another option, like I did, is to take that money to a remote prop shop. Trade only 100 shares, but now at least you can affordto trade with 100 shares, and even day-trade if you wish. That is of course an option if you are really serious about trading and need to be able to buy 100 shares...

Hehe, problem is, I actually did that.... except it was with the YM. You just have no idea how much longer and more experience I could have got on that 2k if I just traded 100 shares of a stock.... vs day-trading Futures. Leverage is a great thing for some, but it was a very bad experience...

Thanks for posting that, I'm going to read it in depth in a little while, looks interesting and inspiring.

Don't the brokers and banks manipulate Forex though?

oooooooooooooh pretty.....:eek: :eek: :D

Starting... of course! But like others have said, consider that the money you will more than likely lose and pay for your education in the markets. So make good use of it, protect it, and try to keep as much of it as you can to learn all about trading.

Try being 19... and all your friends saying "James.... you still don't have a job yet... what is wrong with you????" & "You need to go get a job, when i was 16, I had a job, what makes you so special?" I don't like discussing what I do. My parents don't even know what I do. My sister and...

hehe, crazily, most of that is my same story. Besides the having a job part. I had been interested since I was late 14 - early 15. I started playing a game called Railroad Tycoon. It was a great game, it was mainly about laying down rails and connecting cities and all about supply/demand...

Appreciate your concerns, but all of that was a wasted effort in typing really. If eSignal is going to claim to be great and promise us stuff, I think I am in the right to bring up issues. --- Do you use Microsoft Windows? I'm sure you have had an issue with it before.... oh wait, why...

eSignal is due out NEXT FRIDAY....... nice considering it was supposed to come out a few weeks ago. Nice job eSignal, we love hearing the stuff you feed us. --- "Sounds like that's why they keep winning awards to me. " *Cough..... pay for the awards* And who cares about awards...

Just personal preference, i'm not putting down any of the above mentioned platforms, I'm trying to discover other platforms other than the above listed. Thanks for pointing that out about Anvil though, good stuff. Edit: BTW, I have only demo'd on Anvil, Cybertrader, and TWS

I believe he was referring to where you have your own account. I think the firm will limit your losses since your putting up no capital at all, you actually are trading that firms capital. They hire inexperienced traders to churn and burn. They may lose 50 - 100 dollars a day, but traders...

I've tried all of the following platforms: Laser Anvil Liquid Ameritrade Streamer Cybertrader TWS ETrade Retail Curious to learn if there are any other platforms out there. My favorite is currently Laser. I have heard of Blackwood, Hammertrade, Lightspeed as well. Just...

I hear from other prop traders that anything lower than 50% is a rip-off nowadays. That is about as useful as I can be on the issue.

Hehe... *looks down at desk...... 2 cups, bunch of stickers, body spray, Civilization IV game box, 5 cd's, box of jawbusters, pack of cards, Terrible Towel (STEELERS!!!), bunch of mail, a nice smelling thingy, a stack of address labels, a tape measure, a pair of headphones, cell phone, wallet...

Nice clean set-up. I hope one day I buy a desk where I don't have to have so much crap on it, I'd pretty much win on the "Most Messy Desk of the Year" award. lol. What do you usually have running on your system kastro? eSignal *i assume* and your trading platform, whatever that is...

I love how on their forum they claimed that market data was an EXTREMELY competitive market for them. How they have so much competition........... AND THEN they posted links to where they have won awards *cough... paid for those awards in some way*. It's just flat out hilarious. Then they...

Personally, if a forex broker did allow this.... why on earth would you want to sign up with them? I can just imagine the amount of security issues. Say a little brother pops on the computer and starts e-mailing your broker or crap. Haha, that would be funny!!! But seriously.... no...

Is it really a shocker. yet on the official eSignal forum, they have a bunch of staff members that gang up on me and tell me how they are a "GOOD COMPANY" and that they are working hard with QA and stuff. TOTAL BS. It's the just the way eSignal operates. I'm waiting for an eSignal...

I'm scalping. *Wouldn't mind opening a retail account in the future for longer term trading though* Problem is, I really need to update the processor anyways. I also do music production on this PC and I run some 3D Graphical Applications as well *yeah yeah... I love messing around with art...
